From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't bother arguing with him. AUR is special because it is arch and arch is special and because he is using it and it has to be special!
Come on, when did I say AUR is special? I said AUR has different approach that other community repositories, and you somehow assume I'm an arch user? Why do discussion involving arch always devolve into combative arguments? Can't we talk it out without assuming the other party is malicious?
